[cisco-voip] ip speakers, strobe lights and ATAs

[Rossella Mariotti-Jones]

Anyone has any experience with this kind of scenario:

             Ip speaker
            /
CUCM-----ATA
            \
             relay----strobe light


Where the strobe light gets activated when a broadcast message is sent to the speaker (like with Berbee), according to CISCO it works and some customers have actually deployed it (haven't hear which customers yet); but I can't see how the speakers would be powered since the ones we're using are POE only. And what happens when multicast messages are exchanged between the speaker and the server (like membership report and such) will the strobe light go off? Anybody has any suggestions?
TIA.
